Community Cares Program

The Community Cares Program provides San Francisco's hard-to-reach populations with access to basic veterinary wellness services and spay/neuter. We also care for San Francisco's community cats.

Do you see or feed cats in your neighborhood? Stray cats with no particular home or owner? These are San Francisco's community cats.

The San Francisco SPCA spays and neuters San Francisco's community cats for free. Spay/neuter, along with consistent monitoring, easily and effectively controls the community cat population. It also eliminates behaviors associated with mating such as yowling and fighting. We also vaccinate and microchip during the spay/neuter surgery out community cats before returning them to their outdoor homes.
